section A

Conversation 1

气候变化和全球经济发展

W： Professor Henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do ，where

you work and your main area of research ？

M： Well the Center for Climate Research where I work links the

science of climate

change to issues around economics

and policy。

Some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all of

the associated

risks 。

W：And how

strong is

th

e

evidence

that

clima

te

change

is

happening

that it

‘ s

really

something we need to be worried about 。

M： Well most of the

science of

climate change particularly that to do

with global

warming is simply

fact 。

But other aspects of the science are less certain or at least

more disputed 。And so we ‘ re really talking about risk what the economics

tells us is that it ’s probably cheaper to avoid climate change to avoid the risk

than it has to deal

with the likely

consequences 。

W： So what are we doing ？ What can we do

about it ？

M：Well I would argue that we need to

develop the

scienc

e specifically to

understa

nd

the likely impacts of climate change in

different contexts 。

As I said we need to understand the best ways of avoiding

climate change and this will involve a huge transition to low

carbon energy systems and the transition is

a tremendous priority 。

And for this to happen ， we may need action on a global scale

from a political perspective 。
